Gjovana Sokolaj, owner of the company 'Sokolaj Shpk', a company which bought 2.8 mln of 'iron oxide' from KURUM, but 816 tons of dangerous toxic waste were found inside the cargo, has admitted to the investigators that during 2024 she committed 2 or 3 exports to Thailand and sent 'iron oxide'.

"I have not had any problems with the exports made during 2024", says Sokolaj.

The owner of the company 'Sokolaj shpk', has further said in testimony that she had asked KURUM for 2000 tons of 'iron oxide' and the obligation was to send her an amount of payment as an advance for the product. Sokolaj claims that for the purpose of conducting the analysis, the champion went to Croatia.

"I started the sample on April 7, 2024, and the answer came to me on April 21, 2024. The analysis showed that the product is iron oxide and is not toxic," he further explained to the prosecutors.

Gjovana Sokolaj has explained that she is the administrator of the entity 'GS Mineral DOO' with an address in Croatia, the entity to which she had sold the goods.

"I have opened this subject for 3 years. We are a broker entity, as we conclude agreements and contracts with international entities", she said.
